Summary
Most faculty at King Faisal University
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Linguistic Arabization
Background:
- Arabization of medical education is a complex issue.
- Faculty perspectives are crucial for its successful implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To survey faculty at King Faisal University's College of Medicine regarding Arabization.
- To gauge faculty opinions on integrating Arabic into medical education and research.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to June 2001.
- A 41-item questionnaire assessed faculty views on Arabization.
- Responses were collected on a 5-point Likert scale.
Main Results:
- A 67% response rate (74 faculty members) was achieved.
- 45.9% of faculty supported Arabization, while 54% opposed it.
- Opinions varied between basic science and clinical departments.
Conclusions:
- Faculty are essential for Arabization initiatives.
- The survey indicates significant faculty opposition to Arabization at King Faisal University.
- Achieving widespread Arabization in medical education faces considerable challenges.

01:31Hearing
When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.
01:16Anatomy of the Ear
Auditory sensation, commonly called hearing, involves the transformation of sonic waves into neural impulses facilitated by the structures of the auditory organ. The prominent, flesh-like structure on the side of the head, called the auricle, directs sound waves towards the auditory canal. The auricle is often mislabeled as the pinna, a term more aligned with mobile structures like a feline's external ear. The auditory canal penetrates the cranium via the external auditory meatus of the...
01:15Auditory Pathway
Auditory pathways constitute the complex neural circuits responsible for transmitting and interpreting auditory information from the peripheral auditory system to the brain. Sound waves are initially captured by the outer ear, funneled through the ear canal, and reach the tympanic membrane (eardrum). These vibrations are transmitted via the middle ear's ossicles to the inner ear's cochlea.
